This allows the user to select + a subset of the data (using the cursors) and save that into a file in the + libsigrok session format (*.sr). + * Remember the directory of the last file that was opened/saved. + * Automatically save and restore (upon PulseView shutdown/startup): + - the window state (size, position) + - the most recently used device + * Implement pinch-zoom support (useful e.g. on tablets). + * Implement an "always zoom-to-fit" feature. + * Implement a "sticky scrolling" feature, using hotkey 's' (bug #121). + * Show icons for active triggers on the right-hand side of the window. + * Cursors: Also show the frequency in addition to distance/time (bug #502). + * List available serial ports (for serial-based devices) in a drop-down. + * Add support for trace groups. An arbitrary number of traces can be grouped + together, which allows for dragging them around as a group and re-ordering + traces within the group. Hotkeys: group (CTRL+g), ungroup (CTRL+u). + * Use either alternating gray values as trace background color, or the + trace's own color (slightly modified). This behaviour is configurable + via the menu or the 'b' hotkey. + * Show a vertical marker at the trigger point (bug #685). + * Sampling bar: Show the total sampling time in a tooltip. + * Trace/Decoder popups: Close the popup when the ENTER/RETURN key is pressed. + * Improve horizontal arrow-key scrolling step size. + * The viewport can now be dragged vertically as well. + * Add support for placing arbitrary markers (double-click at the desired + position in the ruler area) with arbitrary name/content. Markers can be + removed via the delete key (or the right-click context menu). + * Show full device names in the device drop-down. + * The device selector combobox is now a split button. Clicking on a device + name will open the "Connect to Device" dialog which allows for manual + device selection. Clicking on the small arrow will open a drop-down with + all autodetected devices. + * The main menu is now hidden by default, pressing ALT will make it appear, + pressing ALT or ESC will hide it again. + * Add an Export menu item, which can export the data in various formats. + * Add an Import menu item, which allows data import of various formats. + * Support specifying input files + formats on the command-line (-i and -I). + * Update the possible samplerates/samplecounts widgets when needed. + * Various UI fixes and improvements (colors, font sizes, clipping, etc). + * Add support for the SR_CONF_{POWER_OFF,PROBE_FACTOR} config keys. + * Include the device / filename in the window title (bug #244). + * Keyboard shortcuts: + - Add space as a shortcut to start/stop an acquisition. + - Add shortcuts for the open/save menu items (CTRL-o, CTRL-s). + - Add trace group shortcuts: group (CTRL+g), ungroup (CTRL+u). + - Add 's' as shortcut for enabling/disabling sticky scrolling. + - Add 'b' as shortcut for colored / alternating-gray trace backgrounds. + * Add a few missing toolbar buttons. + * Provide tooltips for decoder annotations (which show the "full" annotation + text regardless of zoom-level). + * Improvements to work (better) with Qt5 (Qt4 remains supported as well). + * The whole code-base has been converted to C++11 (dropping the use + of various Boost functionality in favor of std:: equivalents). + * Build system: + - Always build with -std=c++11. + - Auto-detect Qt4 or Qt5. If both are available, Qt5 will be selected + unless the cmake option FORCE_QT4 is set to TRUE. + - Don't use Qt-defined keywords (can cause issues with other headers). + - Fix an issue with QtSvg linking (bug #369). + - Fix a build issue related to Qt4 MOC. + - Add "-git-" suffix to development version numbers (bug #609). + - Fix the build for older glibmm versions (bug #548). + * Updated build requirements: + - A C++ compiler with C++11 support (g++ >= 4.7 or clang++ >= 3.1) + - glibmm-2.4 (>= 2.28.0) + - Qt4 >= 4.5 or Qt5 (including the following components): + - Qt4: QtCore, QtGui, QtSvg + - Qt5: Qt5Core, Qt5Gui, Qt5Widgets, Qt5Svg + - Boost >= 1.53 (bugs #722, #593). + - libsigrokcxx >= 0.4.0 (libsigrok C++ bindings) + - libsigrokdecode >= 0.4.0 + - libsigrokandroidutils >= 0.1.0 (optional, only needed on Android) + * Dropped build requirements: + - libsigrok (PulseView now uses libsigrokcxx instead). + * manpage: + - Various fixes and updates. + - Document all keyboard shortcuts. + * Android: + - Add basic Android support and support for building a PulseView APK. + - Install logging callbacks for Android. + - Fix a rendering issue by disabling the system background. + - Fix an issue due to a missing libintl.so in the APK (bug #575). + - Add asset reader functionality, e.g. for firmware files. + - Include firmware files (from sigrok-firmware) in the APK (bug #400). + * Windows: + - Fix an issue related to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH usage. + - Fix multiple Boost- and thread-related issues. + - Fix a build issue due to windows.h namespace pollution (bug #517). + - Fix an issue when saving .sr files (bug #615). + * Mac OS X: + - Fix an issue related to Glib::Variant types. + - Fix a build failure on Mac OS X 10.10 (bug #621). + * NSIS: + - Drop libusb0.dll, we use libusb-1.0 everywhere now. + - Add start menu entries for Zadig (bug #542). + - Support out-of-tree builds. + - Don't hardcode the MXE install location. + * README: Drop reference to obsolete sigrok-commits mailing list. + * Add a Doxygen file for auto-generated code documentation. + * Populate signal popup combo box with signal names (not probe names). + * Fix various thread related issues. + * Fix various compiler warnings and compiler portability issues. + * Adapt PulseView to use the new libsigrokcxx trigger API (bugs #448, #452). + * Reimplement file save using the "srzip" output module (bug #451). + * Check whether config keys are available before use (bug #487). + * Markers: Fix display of negative values in popups (bug #460). + * Properly handle device selection failure (bug #455). + * Fix a progressbar issue when saving files (bug #451). + * Fix incorrect channel names in .sr files (bug #490). + * Save and load signal names as UTF-8 strings (bug #498). + * Add a workaround for QTBUG-22829 (bug #532). + * Allow vertical scrolling via CTRL + mouse-wheel (bug #497). + * Fix an isnan() related compiler error (bug #531). + * Gracefully handle the case of a failing SAMPLERATE query (bug #529). + * Show less device info in the device dropdown (bug #285). + * Always show full device info in device selection tooltips (bug #489). + * Fix a segfault due to a missing Capability::LIST check (bug #453). + * Allow PulseView to be killed via CTRL-C from a terminal (bug #368). + * Support having no selected device (bug #488, #392). + * Add menu actions to the main window too (bug #590). + * Avoid confusing autocompletion in the channel name popups (bug #501). + * Fix an issue with channel ordering being reset incorrectly (bug #536). + * Fix an issue related to a disappearing samplerate dropdown (bug #594). + * Fix an issue with incorrect samplenumbers when running decoders. + * Suppress warnings from glibmm about deprecated auto_ptr (bug #654). + * Add a workaround for a corrupted timescale issue (bug #627). + * Fix a libzip-related issue resulting in errors writing .sr files (bug #570). + * Fix an issue that caused incorrect .sr files being saved (bug #599). + * When clicking a channel name, place the cursor in the text field (bug #298). + * Fix a double-free issue/segfault when trying to open an .sr file (bug #405). + * Fix an issue with incorrect placement of PD annotation tooltips (bug #477). + * Allow drag-moving both cursors (left + right) at the same time (bug #514). + * Improve the step-size of the vertical scroll bar click-movement (bug #513). + * Fix a too small display area for devices with many channels (bug #515). + * Fix a Qt5 QWellArray related static linking issue (bug #525). + * Fix broken session saving for devices with more than one channel (bug #404). + * Fix incorrect ruler units of kilo-/mega-/giga-seconds (bug #371). + * Fix an issue with segment sizes wasting huge amounts of memory (bug #622). + * Avoid a crash when running out of memory, show an error instead (bug #626). + * Improve behaviour when the last PD is removed from the stack (bug #510). + * Disable device options GUI elements after an acquisition start (bug #597). + * Fix an issue with the samplerate input format option (bug #595). + * Fix a segfault when switching from a file to a device and back (bug #596). + * Fix a segfault when loading very large .sr files (bug #592). + * Fix a segfault when selecting a device twice (bug #605). + * Fix an incorrect decode trace background color (bug #718). + * Fix incorrect annotation row background color behaviour (bug #719). + * Fix an issue with lingering decoder traces (bug #687). + * Fix non-intuitive channel name editing behaviour (bug #717). + * Speed up annotation drawing by quite a bit (bug #325). + 0.2.0 (2014-05-06) ------------------
